The Communists are baffled and irritated, because they have finally achieved their perfect society, but only by the help of a God in whom they don’t want to believe. The meritocrats are abashed that they’re stuck for eternity in an incentivelesssystem with a bunch of pinkos. The convervatives have no penniless to disparage; the liberals have no downtrodden to promote.

So God sits on the edge of Her beed and weeps at night, because the only thing everyone can agree upon is that they’re all in Hell.
